"If you feel angels in your hair
Teardrops of joy run down your face
You will rise" DM
A phrase that continues to run through my head....
I will rise and be stronger with each passing day. I will also be right here, in the hands of God. Those who are by my side will be those who remain my dearest friends until the end. God bless everyone who has made my life so much easier and fulfilling. God bless you for being so true to me and so loyal. I will spend the rest of my life showing you how thankful I am. I love you all.

Everlasting Love
In my venture of routing through my old things, I have come accross yet another poem written to me. This one is from Jamie.
Everlasting Love
There is something special that you hold,
You have never acted towards me, bitter nor cold.
Always willing to lend me a hand or even your shoulder,
Nothing you have done for me could have been bolder.
Not one person could possibly come close to relpacing you.
There have been many memories along with laughs which
somehow managed to get the both of us through.
I cannot begin to express to you;
You remain the sole person who I can unquestionably trust.
That remains a miracle, for with our friendship that is a must.
I never would have expected you to be this true.
You stand beside me though the colorful times,
even those which are blue.
Nothing will ever take our friendship away from me.
We will prove to them that we have that everlasting friendship,
let them just wait and see.
An everlasting love that we share,
will always carry me through all times, especially when I need you there.
By Jamie 9/02
What I am thankful for today:
The fact that I have such wonderful friends and that we make each others lives so much more fulfilling.
Everlasting love
Everlasting friendship

each and every new day
the sunshine
changing of the seasons

my home
my health and the health of my loved ones
happiness

You
I found this poem that Melinda had written to me when I was having a difficult time in my life. I am so thrilled that I found it and can reflect on our friendship that has been going on for about 14 years now. I believe that this poem is true for everyone and had to share. Hopefully it touches you the way it has touched me.
You
You are truly the only person controlling you
You are the one who can make your own decisions
You are the one who feels your feelings
You are the one making yourself get out of bed in the morning
You are the one giving love from your heart and from your heart only
You are the one who makes yourself happy
You are the one who makes yourself want to enjoy life
You are the one who makes yourself smile on a rainy day
You are the one controlling your tears, your fears, and your emotions
You are the one in charge of you
You are the one who dreams your dreams
You are the one who sets goals for yourself
You are the one who achieves those goals for yourself
You are the one who you can count on and rely on
You are the one who experiences sadness in yourself and happiness in others
You are the one who deserves everything you want in life
You are the one who GOD loves for being you
You are the one GOD chose to make into you
You are the one who loves yourself the most
You are the one who needs to be able to control yourself in times of frustration
You are the one who gets angry with yourself for forgetting things
You are the one who gets frustrated at yourself for doing rediculous things
You are the one and only you are the one who controls your emotions and the anger that builds up inside of you
You are the one think in your life that you should never let down
You are the one who should love yourself and everything you do for yourself
You are you and you need to love you no matter what you think
You are a meaningful person and a kind person~you give from your heart, your mind and your soul
You are a friend I am glad to have and I cherish our friendship in every way
You are the one I know I can count on and you are the one I feel comfortabole talking to
You are you and I like you for the laughs and the giggles we share
You have a special place in my heart and I am glad for our friendship
You are meaningful to others that surround you
You are a wonderful person
You are you and I am honored to be a part of your life
With all my heart and soul,
Melinda

Another Great Quote and Song
The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but to reveal to him his own.
- Benjamin Disraeli
I have to say that I have been blessed by those around me who have shown me my inner strength. Sometimes we lose ourselves in negativity, we second guess ourselves, and of course we are our own worst critical judges. It is nice to be surrounded by people who can see wonderful things in you and point them out. We all need reassurance sometimes. Everyone gets down and feels the weight of the world at times. It is how we deal with it that matters.
Advice from my therapist on Wednesday was to take more quality time with just me. So, last night I took a bath while listening to Delilah. I lit candles, wrote in my Gratitude Book and just relaxed. A song came on that I have not heard in a long time. It is called Make It Happen by Mariah Carey. Some of the lyrics, especially the chorus really hit me. Like The Secret says, we are exactly where we are supposed to be. I needed to hear this song and it came on right when I needed to hear it.
Not more than three short years ago
I was abandoned and alone
Without a penny to my name
So very young and so afraid
No proper shoes upon my feet
Sometimes I couldn't even eat
I often cried myself to sleep
But still I had to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've found my way
Chorus:
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your
knees at night
And pray to the Lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen
I know life can be so tough
And you feel like giving up
But you must be strong
Baby just hold on
You'll never find the answers
if you throw your life away
I used to feel the way you do
Still I have to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've finally found my way
Chorus
I once was lost
But now I'm found
I got my feet on solid ground
Thank you Lord
If you believe within your soul
Just hold on tight
And don't let go
You can make it
Make it happen
Some may give up you, or at least they seem to. Not everyone in the world is going to like everyone, and you are not expected to like everyone either. Surround yourself with those who know all your flaws, know all your crap and still love, support and are there for you. If you still feel alone, God and your angels are always there. Ask you angels to help you with every decision that you are confused about. Ask them to lay a hand on your shoulder and embrace your soul. I read this in a Beliefnet article. It really helps if you honestly believe. Let your guides; spiritual and physical, be your support group and distance yourself from anyone or anything negative. You will feel better and see how amazing your life can be. Let your guides show you the beauty inside yourself. And, help others see the beauty in them.
What I am thankful for today:
music
